CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — One of Miami's incoming freshmen has been followed by Hurricanes coach Al Golden since birth.

Al Golden says that his nephew won't be getting any special treatment, and that "what happens in the locker room is his business and what comes from the head coach is my business." He also says that it'll be important that their family ties do not interfere with the typical coach-player relationship.
